Tisdell (U. of Queensland, Australia) introduces the discipline by drawing on a variety of economic theories and perceptions of the nature of economic activity and its consequences, and emphasizing the dynamics of economic thought. His topics include different types of approaches to environmental and resource economics, regulating natural resource use and pollution emissions, the economic valuation of environmental spillovers and natural resources, sustainability as an environmental and economic issue, water management, biodiversity conservation, and health and environmental economics. Each chapter ends with questions for review and discussion.
